When: June 2, 2025 from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Join us as we welcome Georgia Hall for her presentation: “The intertidal zone: Where ocean meets land”. A Zoom link will be posted closer to the time – public welcome!
Presentation: The intertidal zone is a weird and wonderful space. Often bursting with bright colours, unusual shapes, and surprising textures, the animals in the intertidal delight marine enthusiasts. This talk will touch on the wild and whimsical creatures that call this unique ecosystem home, and will also provide a high-level overview of some of the research that students are working on in the Harley Lab at UBC. Expect to dive into the curious world of the intertidal zone and discuss how climate change is threatening and reshaping this fascinating habitat.
Bio: Georgia Hall is a Registered Professional Biologist and an MSc candidate in the Department of Zoology at UBC. She worked as a biologist on Northern Vancouver Island for several years, but has recently returned to school to study how a changing climate is affecting ocean chemistry, and in turn, shellfish such as oysters and mussels. She can often be found beachcombing for shells and sea glass, or crouched on the rocks, watching the tide pools. She is a fan of all things salty and sandy and will share her love of BC’s coast with anyone willing to listen.
